Health Care Construction Workshop e-Learning Course
17.5 CECs (1 CEC = 1 contact hour)
ASHE has developed the Health Care Construction Workshop e-learning course based on our distinguished in-person program. Our hope is to accommodate all who cannot travel and those who prefer online training with this convenient, self-paced e-learning course.
This is an advanced workshop. ASHE strongly recommends that participants have a Certified Health Care Physical Environment Worker certification if registering for this course.
This course is completely updated to include the latest CMS rulings and offers education with a comprehensive risk management approach to critical topics in health care construction, including: the planning, design and construction process; NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code® compliance; construction risk assessment (including general risks and a special focus on infection risks); mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems; medical gas systems; medical technology; and project expectations.
You will gain an understanding of the latest compliance issues in health care construction, and learn what owners, staff and patients expect of constructors working in the health care environment.
